Spouse of British Citizen application help

Post by Ramcoza » Fri Jan 30, 2026 10:37 am

Hi,
My wife received citizenship decision email in April 2025 and attended the ceremony in June 2025. I received my ILR on 20/05/2025.

I am applying for my British Citizenship using “Apply for citizenship if your spouse is a British citizen” route. I gilled out the form until the referee section. The form didn’t ask me anything about my spouse. It only asked me about my details and my patents details and good character declaration. Now I am at the point where I have to fill out the details of two referees. Is this the way the form it is?

I used this link => https://www.gov.uk/apply-citizenship-sp ... w-to-apply
Then clicked “Fill in the form online”
That opened this form => https://visas-immigration.service.gov.uk/your-location
I started filling the form there.

My visa route and timeline
Entered UK on 10/11/2019 (Spouse Visa)
Received ILR on 20/05/2025
Never left UK
My wife received citizenship confirmation email on 07/04/2025 attended citizenship ceremony on 11/06/2025

Is here anyone applied through this route? Is this normal that there is no questions about your spouse? It looks weird as the naturalisation application route says “Apply for citizenship if your spouse is British citizen” and then there is no questions about the spouse in the application form itself.

Thanks in advance.

We don't know what the form looks like, as it may change. The form adapts to your responses. You will upload relevant evidence at the end.

Naturalisation is not a visa application, and is outside the immigration rules. You just follow the form as is, even if it looks/sounds strange to you.
This is just my opinion as a member of this forum and does not constitute immigration advice.
Please do not send me private messages asking for advice.

My wife applied just a few months ago, there was a question about spouse and his citizenship. Here is a part from her application form:
